Kind of hugging;
A policeman's lot is not happy one.
A skirmish which occurred on the
White House corner yesterday afternoon
occasioned considerable excitement for a
short time
Officer Daniels grabbed hold of an in
nocent looking gent to whom he was
talking and knocked him into the D. &
R. G. ticket office. The crowd immedi-
ately surrounded the spot, but all that
could be seen from the outside was one
Mr.. Knode and Daniels talking in an
excited manner. The latter looked
as though he would like to
eat the other up if it were
not for the gentle persuasion which
was seriously argued in the right hand of
the other.
On inquiry, it was learned that Thos.
j. Knode had letter from the General
Y. q. iaSchG IlIClCOCh, W INC OSU6n
Agent, requesting free ride for Knode
and wife to Salt Lake aud return. Knode
thinking this letter in itself sufficient, did
not present it to the Ogden U. p. Agent,
but to the d. & R. G. conductor instead.
At the depot here Knode was turned
over to Daniels, who had orders to ac-
company him to the offices af the Salt
Lake agents and see if they could settle
the matter between them. This failing,
Daniels took the matter into his own
hands and attempted to settle it himself.
Knode, after paying the amount of his
fare, took trip to McKay's court and
swore out complaint OF assault and
battery against Daniels.
The case was set for 10 o'clock this
morning, and at that hour Daniels was
on hand, but after waiting the hour out
the Judge concluded that Knode had
skipped, and Daniels was then discharged.
